Calpico. In first presenting this shot to my uncultured friends, they were like wtf is calpico?! It's an uncarbonated Japanese soft drink that has a light, somewhat milky flavor. Similar to plain vanilla. It's made from water, nonfat dry milk & lactic acid. Recently they've started stocking flavored versions of this drink & seeing as how my boyfriend decided to buy a liter of the strawberry, it was readily available for mixing.

In a saucepan sprinkle the packet of Knox Gelatin over the cold water. Let sit for a minute to dissolve. While slowly heating the mixture add in the Calpico, Vodka & Cranberry Juice, mixing for just a few minutes until incorporated. Turn off the heat and pour into your serving bowls. In my case I ended up using sake glasses. Refrigerate over night.
